REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2) | Mashian wins | Mashian loses

Jan-24-09    WhiteRook48: why's he rated 2273 if he loses against Stepak, Hertneck, and Sutovsky? Feb-05-09    WhiteRook48: he won no games, so why does it say his winning percentage 12.5%? Or am I looking at it the wrong way? Feb-05-09    thebribri8: Draws count as half a point. Therefore, Mashian has (1/2)/4 which is 12.5 percent. Mar-08-09    Mibelz: He, as Houshang Mashian, played thrice for Iran in Chess Olympiads at Munich 1958, Tel Aviv 1964, and Siegen 1970.
